Been Hacked - no clue what to do...

PostAuthor: Relax » Tue Aug 29, 2006 8:31 am

I have a few Integramod 140 forums and they seem to got hacked.

As my host deleted the dir, I don't know exact what version I had.
I thougt it was 140 on 17 (i know... sorry).
The database should be intact, I can enter it without a problem.
But if I just replace the Integramod files and the config file, I still cannot enter the site.

It looks like the user has no access... but in the controlpanel I see that the user/pass has full access to the database and it is in the config file.

I want to put a new and updated version of integramod on the domain, but I cannot find a way to do it...


Having too little time doesn't help having little/fewer problems <img>.

First you should contact your host and ask them to zip a backup of your forums from a week or so ago, before you were hacked. Let them know that fixes have been released and you will apply the fixes before re opening your forum.

Then go thru the hack threads on this forum and make all of the fixes needed.

Hope this helps and I hope your host has backups.

Just got a reply from the Host... there are backups, but it seems the server was heavilly hacked... and the host will not release the files as the backup files are also 'infected'. He was surprised my site worked until yesterday.

The problem was another account on the server, but finally my account also suffered from this.

I do have a backup of the config file and I have the database file. Is it possible to restore from a clean Integramod install without the install maps?

Thank you for helping..

It's not that the site is very important on internet, but some 100 people had great fun in filling the forum for about 2 years.
